I don't want them to see

there's two of us.

Who? There's nobody

behind us.

Don't turn around!

Never turn around.

I was in this cop car once,

and this other car

was in front of us,

and the guy kept

turning around.

So one of the cops says:

'That dude turned around twice,

let's shake him down.'

So they stopped him

and checked him out.

We have to decide

where to go.

To the next good Samaritan.

Miss Seidelhofer, would you

come here, please?

Is this the woman,

Miss Seidelhofer?

People always look

different in pictures.

Do you think

it could be her?

Is there any resemblance?

Yes, but some people look good

in pictures, some look awful.

I always look awful because

I just don't photograph well.

We're not interested

in your photogenicy.

Please concentrate.

She has pretty hair.

- What's her name?

- Christa Klages.

What kind of work

does she do?

She used to work

in a kindergarten.

It might be a front, though.

There is a certain

resemblance...

It must be her, if she's a friend

of those two boys, as you say.

I can't be sure

until I see her.

We have to catch her first.

The alternative number

is 30.

- I can't, not now.

- Oh, please.

You're feeling...

just the same as I am.

You know, sometimes

I feel like crying...

Not because of me

or because of you.

Just because of everything.

You're right.

It's no good.

Police have been able

to identify the second man.

According to Wolfgang P.,

who has confessed,

it is Werner Wiedmann,

at present unemployed.

Why did Wolf

have to squeal on me?

He's only 19.

So what? I was 14 when they

got me and I didn't squeal.

He was jealous of you because

you were good at everything...

Bull. You were like his mother

but he couldn't get close to you,

and you don't rat

on your mother.

I can't make anybody

looking like this, either.

I liked your

real hair better.

We're splitting up.

If they catch you with me,

you've had it.

We did the job together

and we're staying together.

Listen, you got

a little kid!

They don't have

anything on you.

You think I'll buy me

a Porsche with this?

I want us

to stay together.

Excuse me a minute, please.

He's got no staying power.

If I weren't married to him,

I'd have...

I'll be right back.

Hello, Flo.

- How did you find me?

- Information.

- Is your husband at home?

- No, but I've got a customer.

- A customer for what?

- Beauty treatment.

We can come back

in half an hour.

- Are they after you?

- We're not criminals.

Yes, I'm coming.

Come on in.

This is Werner Wiedermann.

This is Ingrid, alias Flo.

You can wait in there.

You think that witch

is gonna help us?

- I'm not staying here.

- Where can we go?

Margarethe von Trotta

Margarethe von Trotta (born 21 February 1942) is a German film director who has been referred to as a "leading force" of the New German Cinema movement. Von Trotta's extensive body of work has won awards internationally. She was married to and collaborated with director Volker Schlöndorff. Although they made a successful team, von Trotta felt she was seen as secondary to Schlöndorff. Subsequently, she established a solo career for herself and became "Germany’s foremost female film director, who has offered the most sustained and successful female variant of Autorenkino in postwar German film history." Certain aspects of von Trotta’s work have been compared to Ingmar Bergman’s features from the 1960s and 1970s. She says that it was thanks to Bergman's films that she "‘fell in love’ with the medium and its possibilities for representing inner psychic worlds."Von Trotta has been called "the world’s leading feminist filmmaker." The predominant aim of her films is to create new representations of women. Her films are concerned with relationships between and among women (sisters, best friends, etc.), as well as with relationships between women and men, and involve political setting. Nevertheless, she rejects the suggestion that she makes "women’s films". more…
